432 - The State of Firearms Instruction

In this episode of the SSA Podcast:

I chat with Rob Morse of slowfacts.wordpress.org a collection of blog posts that I would call the opposite of knee-jerk reactions and Self Defense Gun Stories Podcast at selfdefensegunstories.com where you take a look at defensive gun uses and analyze them for lessons that can be learned.  Rob is also a member of the Polite Society Podcast where he and the rest of Paul Lathrup’s crew discuss a wide variety of firearms related topics.

 

On today’s episode we talk about:

• what it is that makes Rob tick
• Rob’s background in defensive gun training and self-defense
• what got Rob started thinking about the effectiveness of defensive firearms training
• the book, Building Shooters.  What it is, why it is interesting and who it might be for
• what Building Shooters made Rob and I start thinking about related to defensive training.
• who is it that tends to benefit most from a two day training course
• what we think that instructors can do to overcome some of the challenges that arise from current training models and from models that we may shift toward
• why taking notes on the range is so important
• much more!
